    8460P came out in May 2010 so the unit would still be under warranty. Suggest ring HP to get it repaired.

    Found a thread a while ago where they had a method to recover from a "bad" BIOS (doing some experiments with the whitelist). You might want to have a look at the thread, it COULD work if your problem is bios-related. I never tried any of the recovery methods suggested, so use it at your own risk. Also, make sure you use the correct BIOS version.
